Church Closure due to Covid Exposure
-
January 6, 2022A member of our parish staff has tested positive for Covid-19 virus. Since this individual has been in close contact with the priests, Msgr. Michael and Fr. Jibin, we will have to close the parish office and the church for five days while they, and the other members of our staff, self monitor for symptoms of the virus. That means there will be no masses for the rest of this week and no Sunday masses or live streaming this weekend. At the moment the priests are not showing any symptoms, and if that continues for five days, we will reopen the church on:
Tuesday January 11 for the 9:10 mass.
We are saddened by this interruption of our worship services, but it is necessary to ensure we are not spreading the virus to our parishioners. We all must do what we can to limit contact by using a mask, sanitizing, limiting our social contacts and staying home if we are not feeling well.
We will continue to keep you informed of the situation, through email, My Parish App, and the Parish Website. Let us use this time to pray for each other and for an end to this virus that has been so disruptive to our lives.
Msgr. Michael Busch
Pastor, St. Jerome Parish
